Body
Vox will perform the program
Reverie, a two-decade retrospective
show of works choreographed
by the company founders
Ashley Roland and Jamey
Hampton. The theatrics of
Reverie shift between the
fast, the fluid, the bleak
and the funny with music
ranging from Delibes and
Miles Davis, to the Bulgarian
Women's Chorus to Johnny
Cash. The return engagement
of the group, on February
25 at 7:30 p.m. in the Zellerbach
Theatre, is presented by
Dance Affiliates and PENN
Presents. Tickets are $33,
$30, $28. Discounts are
available for seniors, students,
and faculty, staff and alumni.
